The 2-8-2 Steam Locomotive earned the name Mikado in service on the Nippon Railway of Japan. In 1897, Baldwin built a number of 2-8-2 engines for the Japan railway. Translated, Mikado means Emperor of Japan -- a name that became controversial during World War II. In fact, several railroads tried to change the name of their 2-8-2 locomotives from Mikado to MacArthur. The name didn’t stick, but MacArthur is listed in most places as an alternate name.

The Mikado engine and tender include either a digital steam whistle to recreate the sounds of steam railroading and a smoke unit that generates just the right amount of smoke.

The Mikado Steam Engine also includes both a Scale die cast coupler and an O Gauge die cast coupler to allow for either scale or O Gauge rail operation.
